Licking County Ballot Battles This November | Toledo News

Voters in Licking County are gearing up for a major ballot showdown this November, with big tax proposals, liquor expansion plans, and local charter changes all on the line. The Southwest Licking Local School District is pushing a hefty bond for facilities and a higher earned income tax — a familiar fight for locals. Other entities, including the Park District and townships, seek renewed property taxes for parks and fire services. Meanwhile, businesses in Johnstown and Newark want Sunday wine and mixed drink sales, while Heath and Pataskala propose tweaks to city governance. All proposals must be officially filed by August 5th, with certification by the Board of Elections on August 17th. Election officials are also ramping up with cross-training and a new grant to boost poll worker readiness — and their May primary audit? Perfectly accurate.
